This group of southeastern Pennsylvania hunters returned from Lycoming County last week with 10 bears they and their friends bagged from their Muddy Creek hunting camp. From left are Lloyd Espenshade, Kevin Hess, Dennis Hess, Tony Bishop, Terry Lutz, Cory Hess and Larry Paul. Lycoming County was the hot spot for bear hunting this year, according to the Pennsylvania State Game Commission, which reported 151 kills there in just the first day of the four-day season. The entire group at the camp consisted of 24 hunters.
